Social Approval or Principles?

[bennyboy]

The initiation of force is rationally, morally and logically incorrect. Since you can't have exceptions to a principle, if people in the government think it's wrong to steal, great, then they can't steal themselves and call it 'tax'. They are violating their own test of morality, by the state's own definition they are evil.

You are stating a bunch of assertions as brute fact. You have not shown that force IS rationally, morally or logically incorrect.

You are falsely saying that you can't have exceptions to a principle. Of course you can. In principle, people can't go around sticking needles into each other. Doctors are an exception. In principle, people are not allowed to take money from each other. The government is an exception.

There's an important fact that you are persistently ignoring. The money that we pay in tax is made by and for the government. Its value comes from the government-- they guarantee its value, and control its creation and destruction to keep inflation at a steady rate. Go ahead and print some Koolay Kash of your own design. I guarantee that it will be 100% tax free, and equally free of any bartering value. That's because the value of money is DUE TO the way the government so jealously controls it.
